Comment on Tim Hortons gluten-free product list by Heather Ferguson

I have the same problem with trying to make things they do taste terrible I must add and buying the things is very expensiver and where I live which is Prince George, BC we are somewhat limited as to what we can buy. I must add the stores are getting better with bringing in products that are gluten free. I also am frustrated with Tim Hortons but I had no idea Starbucks has a Gluten free cake so will be going to try that this weekend. Hopefully they will sell it here. As for the canned soup Wolfgang Puck sells soup that is Gluten Free I buy it at London Drugs as it is the cheapest there. If you go onto Save On Foods Website they have a list of all the Gluten Free foods they carry as well as the foods that do not contain Gluten like Western Family Mustard things like that.

Comment on May is Celiac Disease Awareness month – by David Fowler

I’m not a pro, so that this for what it’s worth, but as I understand it, once you go on a gluten-free diet and symptoms stop, the bone density symptoms (including teeth) are suppose to subside. So to answer your question, an early Celiac diagnosis may have prevented issues with your teeth. That’s why the CCA is trying to get the word out to dentists to remind them to reconsider this diagnosis.

I have just been diagnosed with Celiac and wish I know about years ago. I have had surgery on my Colon and all my teeth have gone to pieces and just about every one had to pulled out. Now I am looking at having to have dentures. This begs the question “if I was diagnosed long before this would I have gone through all of these health problems?”

Comment on Probiotics can help chronic inflammation from Celiac Disease by Stan

Just restore balance into your body and you will be able to eat everything. The reason you are gluten intolerant is only one — your balance is whacked. Simple as that.

Comment on Food Labeling – Our Right to Know Event by Kelowna

It is really not fair to sue farmers for growing genetically modified crops that landed on their farms without their knowledge. However, there should be a food standards bureau that assesses produce from farmers to establish whether farmers are intentionally growing genetically modified crops, and farmers should comply with the authority by giving adequate samples of their produce for analysis. This will not only help farmers to know what kind of crops they are growing, but will also help them to avoid any legal battles with multinational corporations.

cook.val@hotmail.com I cant share my sons but I can send you mine. Some of the easiest things to remember is for thickening use corn starch. I dont ever use white rice flour it is terrible. You can buy bobs red mill gluten free flour, it has a heavy urad taste so to diguise it add more brown rice flour and corn flour and vanilla or other flavours. Read your labels ie ive had reactions when learning as soy sauce, licorice, some jello, canned soups, sausages, weiners, most breads, buns baking all have wheat or barley in them. Hope this helps Val
